I like the name.
This is exaclty the stuff and this is exactly what I'd like to do with mine. Its straight into the mud at the moment and very slowly dissolving. Another 100 years and it will be four foot high...
I was quoted about £15 each for 2.4m long sheets......the problem was the bits and bobs were dearer than the sheets.....ridge pieces, barge boards, screws etcI had some replacement sheets rolled recently and I was stiffed nearly £500 for six sheets. There was a set up fee of £150, they then added handling and carriage. I think I only paid £750 inc delivery for the whole building forty years ago.

When we're ordering corrugated sheets for a wagon roof building you tell them how wide it is & the height from the bottom edge of the roof to the apex. They use those figures to work out what curve to use.
We got 2 sheets last year for repairs & they were only a few pence more per foot than flat sheets & were made to order.

I just had a dig about for the invoice, the six sheets were £443.69 delivered and not £500. The £150 surcharge is made up from rolling and minimum order costs, the rest is vat and delivery. Still makes rolled sheets expensive.

You can buy a few different sizes of pre curved sheets, like those used for building pig arcs, so assume there are probably other radii, available too. But anything one off is always expensive, so why would tin sheet be any different.

That’s one issue that making them isn’t easy, lost space inside and no wall hanging space as well but they look fab.
Very hard to read this but by the look of things they ripped you off! Looks like they charged £95 delivery which is just crazy! We ordered ours from a local builders suppliers, they ordered them from another local firm who manufacture & erect agricultural buildings, they rolled them, delivered them to the builders supplier who then delivered them to us for free. We could have saved a few £ by going direct to the people that rolled them but the sheets were still cheap enough.

Probably not too much, until you start adding the words “eco” and “designer” oh and “space”, add them into the sentence and add a few 000’s. Nobody have access to the bending machine and we can arrange a group buy? lets make our own
Sheets bent to standard radii and off the shelf are much cheaper. They are available for pig arcs and silo towers, but I needed a specific span (10 foot) which was not a standard. 8 foot would have been half the price, but no use to me !

Penman Engineering up on the old airfield at Heathhall. They're getting back on their feet after being in receivership a couple of years ago. The buildings are WW2 aircraft hangers so quite different to a Nissan hut. I pick stock feed up from a distribution centre just round the corner that also has 2 of them. They're huge!
Edit: I think most of the Omegas they did went to the RUC/PSNI and the diplomatic protection service.
They also built the cabs for the Unipower/ALE Trojan trucks a while back.
Not sure what they're up to these days

bloke on the omega owners forum had an armoured omega:
4" thick windscreen, best part of 3.5T in weight. 0-60 in 11s.(Vs sub 7s for standard police spec)
no idea of the provenance.
looked a standard saloon up close.
would have loved to watch a twocker try to put a brick through the side window.

You can make your own small-scale version, apparently.

Mind you if you go up a couple of pages it shows you how to fire-proof your house with asbestos so I don't know how good the advice is nowadays

That was penman engineering, they went into administration a few years ago but got bought out by someone I think, they also done a lot of MOD work and work for BT making bodies for transit pickups, there are quite a few old aircraft hangers in Dumfries at heathall industrial estate, I think some were used recently for storing grain/animal feeds...
